Last year ED had a 20% acceptance rate with at least 1/2 of those being recruited athletes, legacy, URM, development cases, faculty kids, and national level talented students. I give your chances about 10% if you get your ACT up to a 33 or 34.

Things in your favor: class rank (depending on number of seniors?), GPA, geographical location (Kansas) and interesting ECs. I assume you are a Music or Arts type major?

Cons: ACT score, lack of APs in STEM, English/literature, foreign language, etc. Will your counselor check the “most rigorous classes” box?

Good luck to you and let us know if you get in or are deferred.
